Research suggests that most children begin to understand the concept of pretend play and differentiate it from reality around 2 ½ years old. Before that point, they may still engage in pretend play but not fully comprehend the difference between what is real and what is not. By 6 years old, most children have a strong understanding of reality versus pretend play.
